Data quality issues have been known to cause migration project cost overruns of 25% to more than 100%, depending on the magnitude.1

Through 2019, more than 50% of data migration projects will exceed budget and/or result in some form of business disruption due to flawed execution.1

The trouble is, no one ever thinks about the data up front—and that’s why so many of these projects go wrong.

Hand-coded connectivity to applications can lead to sub-optimal access.

Manual data quality checks are time consuming and don’t scale.

Data formats and values in an existing application don’t match the target application.

Critical data goes missing any time an application is consolidated or migrated.

Application retirement efforts face the challenge of efficient archiving of the data.

And most important, you need a new architectural approach to ensure existing and new applications can co-exist without increasing complexity.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Multimillion-dollar IT projects take too long and cost far too much. Fifty percent of application data migrations fail; one in six IT projects fail big, missing deadlines 70 percent of the time and going 200 percent over budget.1 The business gets disrupted:
